A/N Yeah, this is short. Forgive me! I had to reread the story because I had kind of forgot what it was about... bad me. And no, I really didn't know what to do... I winged it on this chapter kind of. So please, please if you can, give me a comment telling me some ideas you would like to see happen in this story. 'Cause if you don't, I just might send Bella and Carlisle off to Russia or Alaska; and that defiantly wasn't how I wanted the story to go. Thank you to all of you have alerted to this story.

Bella's POV

Two days. Two days until Edward comes home. I'm a total mess- my hair is dirty and my eyes are filled with sleep."I'm going to take a shower." I whisper to Carlisle as I get out of bed.

The heat of the water streams down my back and I sigh loudly. Edward... Carlisle... two amazing guys, yet only one could be my soul mate. "Carlisle," My mind immediately responds. I smile lightly even though the whole situation is nothing to laugh about.

"I heard a sigh." Carlisle's velvet voice floats into the bathroom as he pulls the shower curtain aside. "You don't mind if I step in for a while, do you?" I laugh as he starts to get into the shower. "In your clothes?" A small smile plays on his lips, "Well, Ms. Swan, if you would rather I take them off, than I suppose I can work that to our favor." I watch as he unbuttons his collared shirt and undoes his pants.

As he steps into the shower, I can't help but take him in. He's a god, and none the less.

I gulp loudly, unsure of what to do. He smiles, taking a hold of my waist and pulling me to him. "Do you know how beautiful you look drenched in the water?"

"Nothing compared to what you look like." I respond as I kiss his lips tentatively. "Oh, I'd have to disagree." He picks my legs up from underneath me and kisses me for quite some time. "You see, Bella, the water clings to your skin and I can't help but kiss you even more." He pushes me against the wall and pulls his mouth back just enough so that I can feel the warm air from his breath on my face. "Looks like it'll turn out to my advantage then." He barks out laughing before taking my lips in his again.

I've never felt so alive.


"Alice, we're pressed for time." I don't think I've ever been so stressed about Edward coming home. Well of course I haven't- I've never had something to hide from him before now. "I know, Bella." Her voice rings at the end. I can tell she's a little irritated with me, but I'm just as stressed as she is.

"Oh!" I hear her stop just as she's about to sit down. "Alice?" I ask carefully.

"He's coming home, Bella. Edward is coming home tonight."

"What?" I almost scream, "No! It's too soon! I was supposed to have another day!" Carlisle chooses that moment to walk in, "Bella, it'll be OK." I look over at him, desperation in my eyes, "Carlisle, we've got to leave. We've got to gt away. We can run away and pretend that the Volturi came for us. Please, I don't want to have to go back to the way life used to be!" He stops dead in his tracks and his eyes don't blink as he stares me right in the eye, "Bella, it's not that easy. I know that it's going to be hard, but we owe Edward some kind of respect. We can't just leave." He looks over at Alice and sighs, "And what about Alice? She'd be heartbroken if you left her."

I can feel the tears well up in my eyes as I begin my last cling at insanity, "But, Carlisle, I can't do this to Edward. I can't... I just can't." I wrap my arms up into his chest and cry. I can hear Alice hesitating before patting me on the back of my head softly. "It will be OK, Bella. I know it will be; I can tell." But I don't believe her, so I let Carlisle hold me in his arms until the tears dried up.

"Sweetheart." Carlisle's soft voice brought my eyes up to look into his. "I'm not leaving you. I'll be with you every step of the way."

"Dying seems less sad than having lived too little."
